does Marilyn Manson wear yellow?

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

By the way i hate M.M. I dont know why but i never understood why anyone would like to listen to his music. I dont think his stuff is good at all. And i should know becuase i am the smartest, coolest, funnitest, prettiest, lovableist, bestest, most specialist, most intelligentist, most boss individual ever.

Wow people it was just a question. And if it's a pointless thread look at how many replies it got! (even though more than half were of two people talking about an inside joke no one else understands...... hmmmm... another example of pointessness, perhaps?) Either way, I am sorry some of you didn't appreciate my inquiry. Maybe I'll just keep coming up with random questions to SPITE you!!!! HA HA HA!! No. And prototype, how badly do you need to know why I asked this question? I'm intrigued.

Kudos for keeping that bulldog skin, mary mary quite contrary. I'll congratulate any newcummer who isn't afraid to be pointless or run at the first sign of pointless controversy. By the way, marilyn manson wears a yellow shirt in a NIN video back when he and the lead singer of Filter were still in the band. I forget the title, but it's on the two-video release with tape 1 being live stuff and the video is on tape two... it's in a suburban home with a pool, I believe it's on the same album as piggy piggy pig pig pig, and yeah, as for your other question posted in other forum along with yellow shirt query, Hitler quoted from the bible often, many times he used christianity as foundation for his beliefs, not to mention the parallels between Mein kampf and the Bible, Hitler and 'God' [as presented by organized religion, all of which is doggie doo doo... best of luck...

The guy used to be an intelligent well spoken man. Now he's worse than Morrison or Warhol at his most drugged out. I was a huge Jim Morrison fan, and I've read all of his poetry. Only two of five are readable and just one of those two makes literal sense. The other is just charming allusion and abstract words.

He makes close to no sense anymore, and I find him an embarrassment to artists everywhere.

OR, and this is a big or, maybe I'm so stupid I don't get his ramblings and I'm the one who's an embarrassment. Go check out his journal on the website marliynmanson.com.

I've read the journal, and it is made for randomness. Read his autobiography, it is facinating, but his ramblining about how he, and the little girl next door, are both christ get really annoying very fast, which is good that he only mentions this in one small part of the book.

I read the book twice, and it was interesting and surprisingly well written (ignoring that he allegedly had it ghost written), but this was before he hit the drug jackpot and he lost any semblance of normal consciousness.

In my opinion:

Portrait of an American Family era- He was quite focused on image and shock. Intelligent though. Well spoken.

Antichrist Superstar era- He was quite focused on shock and making an entrance to the mass market that would last. Intelligent still. Well spoken, if a bit confusing.

Holywood era- Great theorist. Conspiracist like Fox Mulder, ties things togethr in the slapdash and obviously not planned for, ad-lib manner you see when you view all 10 years of The X-Files as one storyline. Intelligent? Poetic? No. Just ink belched onto paper, jam sessions after a party that happened to end up on tape.

The Golden Age of the Grotesque era- Babbling OD case waiting to happen. Cue the Behind the Music title card. Stick to non-verbal forms of expression. The album contains less good songs than I can count on one hand, and only one great song that is itself tainted by the fact it's title is coked out gibberish. Great painting. Intelligent in a nonsensical "I don't ever want to talk with you" sort of way.

I think during Portriat he hadn't quite figured out what he wanted yet, or who he wanted to be.

During Anti-Christ, he had got stable ground on who he wanted to be, but didn't know how to cataplut his career.

During MA he found his catapult, and he improved in all areas.

During Holywood, I think he stopped carring about the music as much and moved on the his personal life.

TGAG is a horrible MM album, good for anybody esle, horrible for him. It is public knowledge that his record company made him add three or four extra songs because it didn't sound "rocky" enough. His art is excelling.

Really? I knew there was some fiasco between nothing- Interscope and Manson which is weird since nothing reccords was created to be a haven for controversial artists.

What songs were they, do you know?

I would guess "Bright Young Things," "The Better of Two Evils" and "Vodevil."

Still, I was happy paying for the CD since I got "Doll Dagga Buzz Buzz Ziggety Zagg" even despite the stupid title. It's goth-swing.
I can just see myself thinking back in '96 when I was a wee 16 saying "You like this Antichrist Superstar stuff? Just [i]wait[/i] 'til he releases his swing album..."

Haha. Yeah. I think one of them is Ka-Boom Ka-Boom. I realized as I listened to that song that MM is the only person who make make the words "ka-boom" sound cool. It's still a bad song though. And I thought The Golden Age Of Grotesque was the best song on the album.

What about that one where Dita sings too? I found that one a little odd, and it made me sad because I didn't want them to break up in real life. See? This is how much I am intrested in MM. He has become a soap opera.
